    I really really don't get the need to find this shit out before you even see the movie

    I don't understand it at all


    I like to know things going into a movie. Surprise has no effect on how much I enjoy something. I should be able to know everything that happens in a work and enjoy it just as much as not knowing. If I don't, then it isn't a very well made movie.

    Everything should be able to have a greek chorus that can come out and go "here's the gist of the plot. These are the characters, and this is what happens. Ok have fun", and not have it ruin the experience.

    I mean, I don't understand people who lose their shit about spoilers and act like the movie is ruined if they learn something.

    You only get to experience something for the first time once.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    Well, I think in a Hulk solo series, you kind of have to be able to deal with some kind of psychological stuff. That's like, the core of the character. When you have him as a team member, or a supporting character or an antagonist, it's a lot easier to throw him into the craziest thing you can possibly think of and have him just beat the shit out of it.

    I think my favorite version of the Hulk is the one in Earth's Mightiest Heroes. He's not, you know, a super genius, but he's capable of actually being a fleshed out character anyways, plus he's the absolute best character to throw in just about any fight scene, because he's having fun and it's infectious.

    I get a geek boner every time there's someone who thinks he's all powerful and then Hulk just shows up and fucking PUNCHES him. Graviton, Kang and that horde of Ogres come to mind.

    I decided to look up the Sentry in the Marvel wikia.

    This is the most stupid character ever.

    Knowing nothing about Sentry, I didn't believe this at first until I looked up the entry myself, it reads like bad fan-fiction.

    This is supposed to be the Superman expy?

    He was just, errr, mis-used

    yeah, we'll go with that

    I did like the drug abuse aspect that was introduced to the Sentry's character later on. Bendis exploited it very well in Dark Avengers IMO.

    Sentry isn't a terrible character

    Jeff Parker really wrote the shit out of him in that mini

    and not even in a goofy, Silver Age way. The sinister modern frame story was wonderful.

    The 4th wall breaking stuff sounds even worse than Superboy Prime punching reality apart and eventually becoming a internet troll on DC's forums.

    If you're gonna break the 4th wall, do it like Deadpool I say. Just flat out don't care.

    Sentry is a great concept for a miniseries.

    Bringing him into the Marvel mainstay was a terrible idea though.

    I like how they did it as a hoax of finding a old-timey superhero made by Stan Lee that just never made it into a comic before, even going as far as to get Stan Lee on board with the hoax.

    New stuff for future movies
    -Guy Pearce is in talks to play Aldrich Killian in Iron Man 3(a character from the extremis storyline)
    -No Hulk in Iron Man 3 (Duh)
    -Potentially Civil War for Avengers 3 (Bleh)
    -Also, expect new characters in future Avengers films (duh 2.0)
    -Feige would like to do Luke Cage and Black Panther, it's just a matter of finding the right time.

    Also, apparently Brad Peyton has been hired to write and direct a Lobo film. Out of all the characters Warner Brothers could bring to big screen, they choose Lobo?

    If anyone's wondering, this is the guy they're talking about to write and direct the Lobo film: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Peyton

    His works include Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.

    I'd laugh, but Favreau had Zathura and ELF under his belt when he got put on Iron Man, so who knows.

    A big flaw to any Lobo film though would be that you couldn't have Brad Garrett to the role unless they did some type of Beowulf-style CGI and had Garrett do Lobo's voice.

    So now Avegners is down to 96% fresh on RT with only one negative review out of 25. The negative review says the movie ripped off Transformers 3 BTW.

    The quote was something to the effect of "Looks like an early script for Transformers 3 got sent to Asgard." So it may not have been 'ripped off Transformers 3' much as it was 'reminded me too much of Transformers 3.'

    That review just reads as, "I wish it had done other stuff," as opposed to really critiquing how well the film managed the narrative it chose.

    I mean there are some honest points made in it but overall they just seem to have wanted another film.

    We can't blame Avengers for that review, we can blame Bay for killing that reviewer's soul.

    That is now in my system cache. Thanks, Trippy.

    In actual news (unless it turns out to be fake) It sounds like the Chairman of Disney either resigned or was fired, and Kevin Feige is being eyed as a replacement. While having a Marvel guy higher up in the company is probably a good thing, I can't help but worry about who they'll get to replace him as the coordinated for Marvel's film projects.

    I'd vote for Jon Favreau but I have a feeling that whatever got him kicked off Iron Man 3 would come into play here again.
